I was loading 116 gr of Hodgdon 50BMG powder under a 210 Berger in a friend's 30-378 Weatherby. I wouldn't think about touching off a round like that without a muzzle brake.


I would not touch that off WITH a muzzle break. A thump to the shoulder I can handle, the noise from a muzzle break, I cannot. I need to keep my hearing.
